Off Topic Nails and gymnastics?

[Gymnast2009]

Ok so I am starting team summer training on the 19th. I am getting my first ever nail extension with gel polish on the 7th For middle school graduation. (Tomorrow). Do I have to get them removed by the 19th or is it safe to do gymnastics with them on. I am getting very very short ones. I just don’t want my whole nail to rip off!

My whole optional team has had nails at one point or another… not real long ones… but they have never had any issues.

Depends on the length. You shouldn't have any issues unless they're ridiculously long.

Your gym might have a policy, but at ours, as long as they are shorter, its not an issue. And honestly, as for "ripping off", the glue/material will break off before the nail does, so its not a major thing.

Ok, yeah thx you guys, I feel better about it now, I will post a pic of the length later today afterwards for further advice

You should be good! Assuming your gym doesn't have rules on this

My daughter is having a tryout at her new potential gym tomorrow. She is currently taking her “prom” nails off. The gel polish is off and she’ll be cutting them. She doesn’t have to she just doesn’t like long nails for sports especially gym.
